Yeah it really isn't the best trade for the Bobcats so I threw the Grizzlies 1st round pick in there, but even then I don't know if they'd want to give up Taylor and Biyombo.

Do you think the Raptors and Grizzlies are getting fair deals?

The Grizzlies add depth on the front-court, but lack overall talent. Out goes Gay, in comes DeRozan, Kleiza, Biyombo. Turns into something similar to the Nuggets really... But with potential as well.

Also, for the Raptors depth chart, specifically the starting lineup. I would rather start Fields for defense/rebounding purposes along with Gay. Gay is still a one-dimensional player like Derozan, just more talented and a better scorer/shooter.

PG: Lowry
SG: Fields
SF: Gay
PF: Bargnani
C: Valanciunas

For Charlotte, Biyombo had a solid rookie campaign. Ed Davis has room left to grow, and if Selby can grab some playing time, he could be a really good rotational/spot minute starter in the league. IMO though, neither Memphis or Charlotte offers/accepts this trade. Too much to give up in their eyes.

I like it for the Raps and Grizzlies to be honest. Biyombo would be a good, cheap option for them to back up Gasol and Randolph. It would be an impressive, young(ish) frontcourt. The only kicker would be the 2 years they need to pay Kleiza for. I'm not sure they'd be up for that. The Raptors give up the usual suspects (minus Calderon which is a refreshing change) and get their man.

I would agree with Matt tho.. The first thing I did was look at Biyombo on the Grizz and the return going back to Charlotte.. It's just not quite enough. I like this idea tho. It could gain traction with some adjustments here and there

But I do see what you're saying, it'd be especially difficult to see the Bobcats accept such a trade unless Ed, and Selby start to show some real promise.

Agreed. This trade could play itself out to make a lot more sense mid season. If Kleiza plays well and Davis steps up his game I could see it. I just don't like the idea of trading Davis right now because his stock is so low. With this lineup I don't see him having a huge opportunity to showcase his talents either.
